lot of the musle car guys are used to building old classics, and getting a pretty penny for it afterwerd. Restore deals. In the import world its different tho, especially with an s13, most of the time you will lose money when selling the car. if it were a 69 camaro with all numbers matching, clean and restored, then yes 38,000 maybe, that s13 umm I say 15,000 - 18,000 range honestly.

I agree with most ppl on here that not every1 will agree with everyones work, i dont think its so much ppl hatin on his work as much as the money he has wasted, but this guy needs to be realistic, can u imagine if u went to get a loan for that what the bank wold say, they would prolly fig it is made of gold or platinum or that ur on some good shit.

if its "that good" why is he selling it? its obviously not that good, hence why hes moving to the next project.

maybe the paint and restoration work is nice, but the car itself looks like it wasnt built right. looks like it was built with rather average parts.

i wouldnt even bother listing HALF the shit hes listed, from piaa lamps, power and tilt STEERING? every fucking 240 has that shit.

the wheels and tires look like a mistake, and being that he even bothered mentioning the spacers shows that he probably bought the wheels and realized that they dont fit right (too sunken in).

stock taillamps really kill, as do the INVISIBLE stock rear brakes.... the way i see it

that chassis should sell for maybe 7-14, with a LOT of shit being parted off of it. all the electronics and stereos are useless... they depreciate faster than hell. really, the chassis, paint and motor are the most important items there. and i really dont like the paint scheme.

personally, this car is a typical "east coast" car...... the parts were picked out of a magazine or off-the-shelf speed shop. my wifeys miata will sell for more than that thing

east coast cars are LAST IN LINE to getting good quality parts from overseas. besides folks like estevan and russ, i dont see to many special cars from the other side of the US. if anything, the problem us west-coast 240 owners have is that people fuckup by doing TOO MANY modifications. then i see these cars that are slapped together and dont even run right.

most people in jersey have a new car with a intake/exhaust and think they're all that or a really janky project car, like a stockish 240sx with a sr20det. there are a handful of nice cars roaming around, though.

all that considered, i don't know anyone who'd put a car together that looks like this one, so let's be fair

He says he spent more than he's selling for.


I feel bad for him. He's clearly not too bright if he spent over $38,000 building a 240SX like that.
